The stings Of insects, such as gnats,
mosquitoes, etc, are often painful. In
such q case apply spirit of hartshorn OF
volatile alkali to the part. Spider bites
are not only painful, but often venomous,
and it is necessary to wash them with salt
water or diluted vinegar. The sting of the
bee is harmful only when the sting re-
mains sticking in the wound. So the
first thing to be lone is to press the wound
in order to make it bleed, since the blood
that flows will carry along a portion OF
the poison. Then suck the wound and
wash it well with water and then with a
solution of knos powder. This latter,
which is much used in England, consists
of three parts of chloride of lime to eight
of common salt. An ounce of this pow,
der is to be dissolved in a tumbler OF
water. If this composition is not to be
had, Goulard's extract may be used. For
the sting of the scorpion, volatile alkali
should be used, and after the pain sub
sides, an emollient cataplasm may be ap,
plied.-Le Pharmacien Populaire.

Quite Preposterous.


We do not, in this country, hear mon
crying ''cats' meat In the streets, al
though that is one of the most familiar of
London cries. But the manufacture of
dogs biscuit is carried on, and Is quite an
important industry, on both sides of the
Atlantic. We condense from an anthem
tic source the following interesting facts
regarding it
Twenty years 6 the business of
making dogs biscuit was represented by
a small shop in Holborn, nearly opposite
Chancery lane, in London, and there
was a weekly sale of only one or two
tons. Now there is a vast factory near
London bridge and another in New York;
and the two factories have a daily output
and sale of from thirty to forty tons.
''This dog food is made of wheaton
hour-chiefy that known as middlings-
oatmeal, dates, beet root, and prairie
meat. Dates were the first article of a
vegetable or fruity nature introduced,
and ave had the anti-scorbutic effect so
desirable in the feeding of dogs.
''For many years dates were the only
addition to the food employed, and at
that time it was advised that fresh vege-
tables should be given twice a week addi-
tional to the biscuits. A searching for
something that would obviate the need
for this addition led to the discovery that
the only vegetable which did not lose its
distinguishing properties under the great
heat to which the cakes are subjected in
baking is beet root; and as it has all the
desirable clements, for some years past
all the biscuits sent out have contained
beet root.
"The last ingredient is prairie meat,
which is not, as many persons suppose,
tallow, grease, or butchers refuse. 1t is
meat from the west and South America.
From it all fat has been removed, but the
most valuable gristle and bones remain to
be ground up and is not only of the best
quality, from a feeding point of view,
but perfectly sweet and good. Analysis
has shown that it is much more nutritious
than the beef usually sold in the butchers
shops, for it contains only five per cent.

Marie Antoinette was in no way a
woman fitted for affairs of state. She
was simply a m That was her
charm and her misfortune. There was
no trace in her of the genius Of her
mother, Maria Theresa. She was simply
a young Viennese princess. Fond Of
pleasure, and sympathetic, she was too
proud of her rank and birth and too dis
dainful of the opinions of the world to
sacrifice to them even a trifing caprice.
Frivolous, but little educated, and never
reading, difficult to advise and impatient
of schooling, which bored her, she ju' II
of policies by persons, and of persons by
the opinions of coteries. With little
judgment she had plenty of courage, but
her valor was apt to dissipate itself in
anger or tears. Hor heart, nevertheless,
was noble. and honor was with her a
passion. When the dignity OF the crown
seemed compromised or lowored-when
it was outraged amid provocation and in
suit, she hardened herself against attack,
and one could then recognize in her the
daughter Of Maria Theresa. - Albert

THE CITY OF THE FUTURE.

The American climate, with its intoler-
able heat in summer, causing sunstroke
and other disasters, its dismal and pierre
ing cold in winter, and its sudden and
extraordinary fluctuations of temperature
all the year round, has never inspired On

foreign visitors. The Englishman pro-

death dealing as the thunderbolt or the
pestilence. Winter can be guarded
against, and it is possible to the expert
enced to be moderately comfortable even
in Chicago; but the American summer
in cities Is growing every year more in

a great deal Of tho suffering is due to the
manner in which the American city is
built.
The point, then, is this-that American
cities should be built with more regard TO
the summer climate. In the ideal city

be valuable as sanitariums in winter.
Here delightful sun baths, amid tropical
surroundings of birds and flowers, may

gigantic warehouses and dwellings Of
brick and iron, absorbing and storing up
heat all day to diffuse it through the
night. The houses will be semi detached
and the streets majestic and spacious.
At frequent intervals there will be
handsome squares with shade and flowers
and fountains, and seats for everybody.
And along the streets there will be files
of stately trees, so that ever with the
thermometer at 100 degs., protection and
comfort may be available for the way

esque. With a free circulation of air
people will find themselves able to
breathe, even when there exists excessive
atmospheric moisture, such as we have
experienced this summer, and the moi

no more.
+ Unless something of this sort shall be
developed, summer life in American cities
in the future will be simply impossible.
The mortality is already terrible. The
tall buildings of brick and iron constantly

higher, are merely reservoirs for the

THE Omaha Bee very sensibly remarks:
Vice President Potter proposes to take
the Union Pacific out of the Wyoming
coal mining business and the Colorado
sandstone quarries just as soon as the
road can dispose of its mines and quar-
ries. 1t is to be hoped the Union Pacific
may be able to unload these enterprises.
1t had no business to 60 into them beyond
procuring a supply of fuel and building
material for its W use and the policy of
~monopolizing the coal and stone traffic
has been productive of the most intense
popular resentment all along the line.

women Employed in England.

The number of women employed in
definite occupations in England and
Wales was at the census of 1881 3,403,-
916. OF these /, 500, 739 were employed
in various industries, constituting a little
over one-fourth of the industrial popula-
ton; "a, $40 were engaged in agriculture
and 1.545, 800 were domestic servants.
"a Woman" writing on this subject in
The Pail Mall Gazette says: Domestic
service is a perfectly womanly occupa-
ton, because it implies that complete
surrender of liberty and that subordina-
ton to another's will which are the
brightest jewels of the female crown, but
even here woman's inferiority is duly
marked by lower wages, the butler being
more highly paid han the housekeeper,
the valet than the lady's maid, the chef
than the-why the word has not even a
feminine-we are obliged to say the
female cook. The remaining women who
are paid for their work are employed in
teaching, nursing, laundry and other
minor occupations. Outside these are
4,45S, 90S women who are 'unoccupied'
that is, unpaid-and of whom the
census report says that they are mostly
married and employed in domestic and
other work. AS these do not render SER

AMERICAN CATTLE TRUST.

Speaking of the cattle trust the Chicago
Inter Ocean of Sunday last says:
Early In May OF the current year some
Of the big cattlemen of the country got
together and concluded to form a cattle
trust for the purpose of economizing the
Thos. Sturgis, of New York, ex-secretary
of the Wyoming Stock Growers Associa-
ton, was elected president. The scheme
agreed on was to form a combination
which should grow the cattle on the
ranges and control the market for beet.
The rust was also to own Strengthening es-
adjustments and certain railroad and
steamship franchises. In short, the trust
was to put into operation every means
likely to increase the profits of any branch
of the cattle business. Trust certificates
were issued TO owners of herds at 25 cents
on the dollar. and common report has
it that about s25, 600, 900 Of these
certificates are now outstanding, and that
the total capitalization is likely to be in
creased to at least $40, 900, 900 in case the
trust is a success. Some of the largest
herds in the West have joined the trust,
including the Union Cattle company, Big
Horn Cattle company, North American
Cattle company, Frontier Cattle company,
all OF Wyoming, and a number OF other
herds in Montana, Colorado, New Mex
leo and Texas. Ex-Governor Routt, of
Colorado, and Ex-Governor Warren, Of
Wyoming, are largely interested in the
trust. In Chicago Nels Morris is the rep
resentative of the trust, his Strengthening
and canning establishment having been
sold out recently to the trust. At
present the representatives of the
trust are buying cattle on the ranges
at $2l to $23 per head, being about the
lowest figures at which cattle could have
been bought during the past ten years.
Beeves in the Chicago market have re-
Gently advanced twenty-five per cent, and
it is stated that the Cattle Trust is likely
to profit largely, from tho fact that it
comes into the market as a buyer at a
time when prices are very low. Presi.
dent Thos. Sturgis, who is the leading
spirit in the combination, is considered to
be a very clear beaded man, but there are
a good many cattle men who refuse to
have anything to do with the Trust, and
predict that it will prove a failure.
